DO YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR LIFE STORY?

Spark Off Rose, a popular storytelling series in Pacific Palisades, is currently accepting submissions for its May 6th show, which will feature seven readers *over the age of 60* sharing their personal stories in connection to the theme "Turning Points."

Now in its 13th year, Spark has found that the public has a thirst for real, true stories, and the creative space cultivates an authenticity that is inspiring. As a result, Spark often presents storytellers who have never before been on stage, and who, in writing and sharing their stories, reveal their most intimate selves - candidly, humorously, and with heart. Most participants are not professional writers. For the Spark producers, it's about great stories, and most of the time they write themselves.

If you'd like to submit a story for consideration, please read the following submission guidelines:

http://www.sparkoffrose.com/content/guidelines   

If you'd like to come see a show, the next one will take place on Monday, February 4th on the theme "Competition." You may purchase tickets online at the following link:

WHEN YOUR MOTHER TOLD YOU TO EAT

ALL THOSE CARROTS, MAYBE SHE WAS RIGHT!

With all the talk about the bone thinning condition osteoporosis almost always aimed at women, you may not be aware that thin men have a strong risk for hip fractures as they age. But a new study shows there may be a way to modify that risk. No, the answer isn't taking Big Pharma's side effect loaded drugs. Instead, the key is to eat more veggies loaded with carotenoids.  

These natural phytochemicals found in numerous fruits and vegetables (including carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, collard greens, papaya, bell peppers, and tomatoes).
